In all fairness, it’s quite possible that under-represented groups are admitted with slightly lower ACT/SAT scores. Doesn’t mean they aren’t qualified, but the competition among white and asian males for STEM at a top uni. is quite fierce and so naturally those admitted will have to have higher scores. They want the best of each group at CSE.

In addition, CSE - and all the admitting colleges at UMN - is paying close attention to UW GPA and course rigor. Stellar academic performance can excuse slightly more modest test scores; the opposite isn’t nearly as true.
